Pixies Live Performance of Hit Songs in Cork at the Marquee

Venue: Cork Docklands Location: Cork, Cork, Ireland Date: July 13, 2016

In July 2016, during their performance at the Cork Docklands, the Pixies were in an exciting phase, having just released their album *Head Carrier* the previous year. This album marked a significant moment for the band as it introduced new guitarist Paz Lenchantin, who brought a fresh dynamic to their sound. The live recording captures the essence of Pixies' classic energy, and it's fascinating to note that the band was still riding the wave of their resurgence since the 2004 reunion. With tracks like "Um Chagga Lagga" from *Head Carrier* becoming staples in their setlist, fans witnessed a blend of nostalgia and new material. After years apart, their return to the stage is a testament to their enduring influence in the alternative rock scene, and that night in Cork was a vibrant reminder of why Pixies hold such a special place in music history. The audience's palpable excitement definitely reflected that!
